I’ve spent over 12 years in the luxury travel industry, learning the business from the ground up—first for many years as an assistant to a Virtuoso advisor, then behind the scenes in social media and marketing, and now as the founder of Duende Travels.

Living in Spain, I've traveled extensively throughout Europe and beyond; but what truly excites me is helping people experience destinations in a way that feels meaningful and immersive. For me, luxury isn't only about beautiful hotels (although to be honest, I love those too); it's about access, common ground, and experiences you wouldn't have had on your own-- whether that's learning to cook with a local, conquering a challenging hike (with a great view payoff), or hearing the real story of a destination from someone who lives there.

If you're looking for a travel advisor who listens, plans thoughtfully, checks every last detail, and believes travel should leave you changed in the best possible way-- it sounds like you found the right place!
